Field Detail

MIN_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec MIN_COLSPEC

An unmodifiable ColumnSpec that determines its width by computing the maximum of all column component minimum widths.

See Also:

PREF_COLSPEC, DEFAULT_COLSPEC

PREF_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec PREF_COLSPEC

An unmodifiable ColumnSpec that determines its width by computing the maximum of all column component preferred widths.

See Also:

MIN_COLSPEC, DEFAULT_COLSPEC

DEFAULT_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec DEFAULT_COLSPEC

An unmodifiable ColumnSpec that determines its preferred width by computing the maximum of all column component preferred widths and its minimum width by computing all column component minimum widths.

Useful to let a column shrink from preferred width to minimum width if the container space gets scarce.

See Also:

MIN_COLSPEC, PREF_COLSPEC

GLUE_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec GLUE_COLSPEC

An unmodifiable ColumnSpec that has an initial width of 0 pixels and that grows. Useful to describe glue columns that fill the space between other columns.

See Also:

GLUE_ROWSPEC

LABEL_COMPONENT_GAP_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec LABEL_COMPONENT_GAP_COLSPEC

Describes a logical horizontal gap between a label and an associated component. Useful for builders that automatically fill a grid with labels and components.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

Since:

1.0.3

RELATED_GAP_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec RELATED_GAP_COLSPEC

Describes a logical horizontal gap between two related components. For example the OK and Cancel buttons are considered related.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

UNRELATED_GAP_COLSPEC

UNRELATED_GAP_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec UNRELATED_GAP_COLSPEC

Describes a logical horizontal gap between two unrelated components.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

RELATED_GAP_COLSPEC

BUTTON_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec BUTTON_COLSPEC

Describes a logical horizontal column for a fixed size button. This spec honors the current layout style's default button minimum width.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

GROWING_BUTTON_COLSPEC

GROWING_BUTTON_COLSPEC

public static final ColumnSpec GROWING_BUTTON_COLSPEC

Describes a logical horizontal column for a growing button. This spec does not use the layout style's default button minimum width.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

BUTTON_COLSPEC

MIN_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec MIN_ROWSPEC

An unmodifiable RowSpec that determines its height by computing the maximum of all column component minimum heights.

See Also:

PREF_ROWSPEC, DEFAULT_ROWSPEC

PREF_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec PREF_ROWSPEC

An unmodifiable RowSpec that determines its height by computing the maximum of all column component preferred heights.

See Also:

MIN_ROWSPEC, DEFAULT_ROWSPEC

DEFAULT_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec DEFAULT_ROWSPEC

An unmodifiable RowSpec that determines its preferred height by computing the maximum of all column component preferred heights and its minimum height by computing all column component minimum heights.

Useful to let a column shrink from preferred height to minimum height if the container space gets scarce.

See Also:

MIN_COLSPEC, PREF_COLSPEC

GLUE_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec GLUE_ROWSPEC

An unmodifiable RowSpec that has an initial height of 0 pixels and that grows. Useful to describe glue rows that fill the space between other rows.

See Also:

GLUE_COLSPEC

LABEL_COMPONENT_GAP_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec LABEL_COMPONENT_GAP_ROWSPEC

Describes a logical horizontal gap between a label and an associated component. Useful for builders that automatically fill a grid with labels and components.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

Since:

1.4

RELATED_GAP_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec RELATED_GAP_ROWSPEC

Describes a logical vertical gap between two related components. For example the OK and Cancel buttons are considered related.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

UNRELATED_GAP_ROWSPEC

UNRELATED_GAP_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec UNRELATED_GAP_ROWSPEC

Describes a logical vertical gap between two unrelated components.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

RELATED_GAP_ROWSPEC

NARROW_LINE_GAP_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec NARROW_LINE_GAP_ROWSPEC

Describes a logical vertical narrow gap between two rows in the grid. Useful if the vertical space is scarce or if an individual vertical gap shall be small than the default line gap.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

LINE_GAP_ROWSPEC, PARAGRAPH_GAP_ROWSPEC

LINE_GAP_ROWSPEC

public static final RowSpec LINE_GAP_ROWSPEC

Describes the logical vertical default gap between two rows in the grid. A little bit larger than the narrow line gap.

Note: In a future version this constant will likely be moved to a class LogicalSize or StyledSize.

See Also:

NARROW_LINE_GAP_ROWSPEC, PARAGRAPH_GAP_ROWSPEC
